Apple tells Ottawa it will “never” abide by Bill C-22 as drafted
The legislation would require telecommunications companies and electronic service providers to retain data, including users’ location information, for up to 365 days without evidence of a crime.
Apple’s senior director for user privacy is warning Canadians about the “consequences” of Bill C-22 publicly, citing proposed secrecy provisions that “forbid companies like Apple from even discussing the orders we receive publicly with our users or the public.”
“I want to be clear about how we approach privacy at Apple,” Erik Neuenchwander told the House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security on Tuesday.
